With the new FTC rules I want to be clear on any sort of compensation I may receive through blogging. Occasionally I may receive small fees through affiliate plans, payment for articles I have written or sell the supplies I discuss.

This is nothing new, isn't a whole lot... and a small facet of how I make my living as an artist. I have never, and will never promote products I don't believe in.

Firstly — please allow me to apologize, for the extreme delay in posting this. No real good excuse, so I won’t try to make any.

It’s just been one of those months — where it seems as if everything I do, or touch is an uphill battle. Factor in my not-so-great health, these blasted headaches that make the computer unbearable at times — and battling depression.. well, you get the quiet, retreated version of me. I suppose it’s one of those things, where you feel as if you don’t have much good to say .. don’t say anything at all. Honestly, I’ve been struggling — in survivor mode — and the blog had to be the last of my priorities, I’m truly sorry for that.. and any worry I may have caused.

I can’t express how much it means to me, that so many of you have checked in to see if I was alright — I appreciate it, more then can I express. I’m not always good at replying, or knowing the right thing to say — but I truly did want you to know, that it touches me.. and lifts my spirits up, knowing so many people care.

Now — enough with that nonsense — I have ALOT to cover, and will more then likely post a few entries in the next few days! I will also make more of an effort, to post regularly again!

I’ll be holding another contest soon, if you don’t want to miss it, be sure to be notified when I update my blog!

Using random.org . .. I counted each entry, as the comment number… I thought this was the fairest way to select a winner…

I pray that you take time to care for yourself.Dont beat yourself up about doing whatever is necessary for your health.The contests are great fun but we would rather have a whole you!Sending gentle hugs and Happy Valentine’s Day wishes
